NUTRI 3 Flashcards
Inflammation of liver with necrosis of liver cells;
elevation of ALT & AST
HEPATITIS
● Most serious & irreversible type of liver injury
● 3 types:
- Biliary
- Post Necrotic
- Laennec’s
CIRRHOSIS
● Excessive copper storage in liver, spleen, & kidney;
impaired bile excretion, & progressive destruction of
small bile ducts
BILIARY
● Preceded by hepatitis
CAUSES
● Chemical exposure
● Nutritional factors
POSTNECROTIC
● Linked with alcoholism
CAUSE
● Alcohol Intake
LAENNEC’S
● “Hepatic Encephalopathy”
● Serious complication of advanced liver disease
● Have elevated blood ammonia levels
● Exhibits cerebral function deficits from minimal to coma
HEPATIC COMA
● 2nd leading site of cancer in Filipino men
● Caused by viral hepatitis B and C
● Other causes: alcohol, heavy Aatoxin exposure,
cirrhosis
LIVER CANCER
● Inflammation, edema & necrosis of pancreas
● As a result of autodigestion of the organ tissues by
enzymes it normally produces, principally trypsin
PANCREATITIS
● An acute inflammatory disease in which
autodigestion occurs from obstruction of the
pancreatic duct
ACUTE PANCREATITIS
● Permanent damage (necrosis) to pancreas occurs
● Increase enzymatic process causing N/V, along with
abd distention & severe pain
CHRONIC PANCREATITIS
● Inflammation of the gallbladder usually from
gallstones or chronic infection
CHOLECYSTITIS
characterized by epigastric pain that to the
shoulder and lower abdominal region, N/V,
chills, fever, & jaundice
Acute CHOLECYSTITIS
Sensitivity to fatty foods, colicky pain, belching
& flatulence are the general features
Chronic CHOLECYSTITIS
● Develop in a sluggish diseased gallbladder due to
infection, stagnation of the bile or changes in the
chemical composition of the bile,
● Overeating or poor eating habits
Gallstone
1.) combination of infection & stones
2.) gallstone without infection
3.) stones slip into the common bile duct producing obstruction & cramps
1.) Cholecystolithiasis
2.) Cholelithiasis
3.) Choledolithiasis
● injury progressing to lesion to complete
parenchymal destruction and end-stage renal
failure
● condition in which the kidneys stop working and
are not able to remove waste and extra water from
the blood or keep body chemicals in balance
ETIOLOGY
Refers to a syndrome caused by signicant urinary
protein losses (proteinuria) that result from severe
glomerular damage
NEPHROTIC DISORDERS
● Deteriorates rapidly, over hours or days
● Reduces urine output and allows nitrogenous
wastes to build up in the blood
ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
● a condition where your kidneys can’t lter toxins or
extra fluid from your blood as well as they should.
● Gradual, irreversible deterioration
CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
● A successful kidney transplant restores kidney
function, allows a more liberal diet, and frees the
patient from routine dialysis
KIDNEY TRANSPLANT
● A kidney stone is a crystalline mass that forms
within the urinary tract
● Stones tend to recur but can be prevented with
dietary measures and medical treatment
KIDNEY STONES
● caused by hyperparathyroidism, excess intake of
calcium foods & Vit. D, and prolonged
immobilization
CALCIUM STONE
● occurs most frequently
● also called “infection stones” because the main
cause is UTI
● stones composed of Magnesium Nitric Phosphate
STRUVITE STONE
● excess excretion of uric acid caused by impairment
in purine metabolism; occurs in diseases such as
gout
URIC ACID STONE
